Friday Afternoon Salado Saunter

Salado Creek Greenway, Robert Tobin Park Trailhead downstream

Today's photos:

As I began walking along the trail today, it was looking like this would be another walk dominated by wildflowers and butterflies. And there certainly is nothing wrong with that. But I have learned to expect the unexpected.

The very large white-tailed buck was quite unexpected as I rounded a bend in the trail. I don't think he was expecting to see me either. White-tailed deer are very plentiful in the upper Salado Creek watershed, so it was not a complete surprise, but this is the first time I have encountered one this far downstream.
